The location of a new Garda command centre in Dublin poses a “massive security risk” due to the fact it is overlooked by a high-rise residential apartment complex, senior security sources have claimed.

There are fears that the command centre, which is under construction at Military Road in Kilmainham, Dublin, could be put under surveillance by crime gangs because of its close proximity to the apartments.
